The Vanishing Horsemen Trial Before Jury
The trial unfolds amid rain and tension at Redmar’s hotel as Bethce and companions flee to safety. Charlie believes police aim to convict others to protect a corrupt sergeant, while Brunes’ defense pushes past records and witnesses to deny charges in a cattle theft case tied to Slim Jim’s gang and regional horse theft activity. The testimony traces cattle rustling networks, station loyalties, and the risk of mistaken blame amid a charged courtroom atmosphere.

Confidence Man Look Like a Bishop in Crime Talk
